I completed my application paid all necessary charges since 01/01/2026. My passport is no where to be produced. I have sent emails and they keep pushing me around.

Have you done the biometrics online?Have you sent the required documents with your expired passport to the embassy?

budaatum:
I don't think I have an NIN. Know how to get one in Blighty?

I heard they enroll somewhere around Peckham and it costs £100..
I live outside London (2 hours journey)hence I can't give you the contact of where they enroll in my location.

budaatum:
£20 in total?

It's rather unfortunate I can't renew because my old one says I was born in Ifon Osun while my other passport says elsewhere. It was gotten for me in Ibadan for ₦25k in 2006, showing no documents and only passport photos.

It wasn't a problem for years until it was clocked at Murtala last time I left. I was fortunate the clocker had sympathy on my dying state, but it's a risk not to take anymore.

I think what you need to do first is to make sure the details on your NIN is the same as your details on the international passport.

£20 was for money order.Paid for 10 years renewal.


Royal Mail C4 special delivery self-addressed envelope for return delivery
The old passport (if applicable)
Payment of the £20 administrative fee, made via postal order payable to the Nigeria High Commission, London (Applicants should write their name and telephone number at the back of the postal order.)
Application forms and payment receipt
All required documents should be sent to: Nigeria High Commission, 9 Northumberland Avenue, London WC2N 5BX.

I had same experience too in the UK...£20 money order.I got mine within 5 days.I think renewal is far easier than processing for a first timer.

This is Why Tinubu have to hide under the guise of US to deal with those Northern Terrorists if not the noise would have been much higher than this and even we would have been dealing with riots like this. The likes of Atiku would have been spitting fire but they dare not because US is involved.

This is what many people are not aware of

NL fam please we need your assistance here.

I work with a bank, and gave out bank loan to a customer.

The customer used the bank’s money which was supposed to be for his business to travel abroad.
Immediately after he got the loan, he closed down his business, and due to this japa, he has been unreachable, and has refused to pay back.

I have been placed on indefinite loan recovery suspension without pay, until Ithe customer is able to pay up the money.

I’ve tried to reach out to the embassy to no avail.

Please anyone with an idea on how to recover this loan should please assist, thank you

How much and was it an unsecured loan?
Did you give the final approval?

jmoore:
VAT is not paid by government. VAT is paid by customers.

Someone will buy mtn card and make a call in Aba and the VAT will be wrongly categorized under Lagos because MTN headquarters is in Lagos.

There is no real record of what each states generates from VAT because Nigeria lacks a model that tracks VAT at point of sale/consumption.

If that happens, it means the firs officials in abia state don't know what they are doing.

Wahala

vizzyswagh:
Please explain further cos I thought magistrate court does not have any jurisdiction on bank related cases. Only the High court or Federal High Court has that right to do so, and moreover none of the frozen account was involved in any fraud activity.

I will advise you ask the bank for the copy of the court order being used to restrict your account to know the exact reason your accounts were restricted.

vizzyswagh:
At least I can get advise here.

A magistrate court can order your account to be restricted.
What was the reason for the restriction?

ibabz:
How exactly did you arrive at these statistics? Do you genuinely believe any southern candidate can defeat Tinubu in 2027? You might need to reassess your data. At the moment, there are three major contenders from the South but only one from the North. What does that signal? The northern bloc is preparing to consolidate behind a single candidate, while the South is set to split its votes among three gladiators.

Historically, the North has always delivered the largest share of votes in Nigeria, and I don’t expect that to change in 2027. If Atiku manages to secure even 70% of the northern votes, while the southern gladiators divide the southern votes in a rough ratio of 60:30:10, Atiku’s path to victory becomes very straightforward.

The real swing factor will be the choice of running mates, that will determine how much support each candidate can attract from outside their regional base. Don’t you think so?

Do you think north central will prefer Atiku to Tinubu?

delpee:
The Alaafin was the political head by virtue of an empire but the Oyo of the old Oyo empire no longer exists. That empire fell and most parts of Yorubaland today never paid tributes to the Alaafin or they freed themselves after a while. E.g. the Egbas, Ijebus and Ekiti/Ondo axis.

Ife has always been the orisun (origin) and spiritual headquarters of the Yorubas. Ooni is known as arole Oduduwa (the representative of Oduduwa. Ife has remained in the same location unlike Oyo. Oranmiyan who became Alaafin was a descendant of Oduduwa who is regarded as the ancestor of Yorubas.

If only the Alaafin can maintain peace with the Ooni as Alaafin Adeyemi did, there'll be greater peace and more progress in Yorubaland.

Ijebus were never under Oyo empire.

Seunmuham:
How many gainers and how many losers

Oga, im not going to answer your question.Do that yourself.If you know about Stocks, you will not ask this question.Try to expand your horizon.

prophetfire:
Read and understand before you comment. I never said it's ponzi scheme. However if you think you know anything about stocks just from the trash written by the poster, go and put money if you have and then come and tell me your experience.
In stocks profit isn't fixed and it's terrain full of uncertainty and unpredictable.
And the figures he posted are unrealistic.
Read down and see the comments of people who know it because I see you don't.

The figures are realistic..Google is your friend..Dont assume..I invest in viable companies alone.If you are scared, engage the service of a professional stockbroker or go to any registered stock brokers office not the ones you see on the street...

prophetfire:
Be deceiving yourself or be allowing yourself to be deceived.
That's why a lot of Nigerian people fall for ponzi scheme. Because you people don't have brain to reason and don't want to do research and read further.
So you believe that money is plucked from the tree in Stock market? I laugh at you. I'm a financial player.
The poster is completely misleading people. Let him post the losses in those stocks. Those things he posted there are mere personal projections. Just like saying what you dream it to be.
They're different from what is obtainable in actual investment practices. Don't be deceived by those fictitious dreams of the poster.

Oga, you know nothing about stock market.Dont ridicule yourself.This is not a Ponzi scheme.
What type of financial player are you?

palsenator:
Shallow comment. You should have checked he how many losers are in the market first. You saw selected figures, next thing is you saying the economy is booming. Which boom? The losers outweigh the gainers with big margin

You are not smart at all.If you are, you check the stock performance within the period and you will know there's an increase in all parameters.In the stock market, there must be gainers and losers.

sonofmercy2000:
If you invest in one of the stock, if you need all your funds, would you be able to get them once or how would you pull your funds out.

It's very easy to get all your funds at once..Within 48 hours, you should get your fund in your bank account.

Betgold84:
Stock exchange na scam o.
You won't know till you start.
Another gamble.
Everything is risk

To be successful in this world, risk is involved bro.Even the education you acquired is a risk if you don't know.

joshuaidibia:
If you believe this then you can as well believe that unicorns exist.

Do you have contrary figures? Please let us know If you have.

nedekid:
You must be kidding right? Next thing you will say it is a prank Abi?

These are verifiable figures.. Nothing is hidden.These are some of the indicators that boost investors confidence.

This is one of the indicators that the economy is booming.

EnglandAmaka:
They will soon decamp or be in Apc to cause havoc. If wike can do it then anyone else can

El rufai may decamp but David Marks daughter will not decamp.As at today, she is more popular than her dad in her constituency.

oloyemeji:
I just arrived in Thailand on a visitor visa. Does anyone know how I can convert it to a work visa? Alternatively, I’m considering buying something here to sell for a profit in Nigeria. Any suggestions are welcome.

Hmnnn... Thailand?

kettykin:
The process will not fly, existing court injunctions will delay or stop it. The Chief judge will appoint 7 member panel of neutral people of integrity.

Bro, Fubara is on a long thing...I think in this case if the chief judge doesn't want to do his or her job, it will be assigned to another chief judge in this case,of the federal high court.(I may be wrong).

hisexcellency34:
Too many dunce who can't read Here. Nigeria's democracy is patterned after American system of governance where there are NO term limits for VP. If you say Atiku can't be vp on moral grounds, I agree but constitutionally he can as many times

I will take you seriously if you can state where someone that has taken oath of office twice as vice president can still contest for the same office in Nigeria.if you can't, you are the dunce here.

hisexcellency34:
Olodo. Lies.. VP can be sworn-in as many times..ordinary Google search will help u

I can see how you reason..No need to argue with you.

This one is a third class OP..Don't you know that constitutionally, Atiku can't be vice president again after being sworn in twice as a vice president.

UTILITYMAY:
Congratulations to Bianca.

However, the caption should have been longest serving monarch in Igbo Land, because Awujale of Ijebu Ode became King on 2nd of April, 1960. That's before Nigeria's Independence.

Please this is just for knowledge sake and nothing more.

The title is Awujale of Ijebu land.

pappey3g:
Awujale of ijebu is the longest serving monarch. I stand to be corrected.

no mind them..na so dem dey rewrite history..Awujale ascended the throne in 1960.

CornOak:
I hardly comment on politics but this man, Abiodun, is the worst Governor in the history of Ogun State.

Inside the state secretariat in Abeokuta where this structure is located, there are multi-storey buildings erected and abandoned till now. Opposite the secretariat at Oke-mosan, there's another huge hospital built by Amosun which has also been abandoned.

Main roads are in shambles, internal roads are even worse. Several short kilometer access roads which are supposed to ease movement are left in ruins. Magbon, Laderin, Isabo, Adatan to More Junction, Asero, Rounder, Ewang to Idi-aba, Olokuta, and many other key roads are begging for rehabilitation.

Abeokuta is not worth being called a state capital.

The man should be ashamed.

Leave Dapo alone.Afterall, when Amosun from Abeokuta was the governor, he centred all his capital projects in Abeokuta (Ogun central) and abandoned other senatorial districts.Dapo is now concentrating on the senatorial districts that Amosun left their infrastructures to decay.

Chilipepper:
Have you ever noticed that some Yoruba individuals sometimes struggle to express themselves clearly in English? There's a colleague of mine, a Yoruba man, and every time he tries to communicate in English, it's a bit rough.

Inferiority complex.Even the British don't care about you being fluent in their language.
